Hello everyone! I am a High School Senior. I am applying to the Naval Academy and Merchant Marine Academy. I’m just wondering the opinion of you all as if whether my stats are impressive enough for USNA/USMMA admission.

I’d like to thank you very much for taking the time to read and to respond. :)
 
None of us here could say what your chances are at getting in because it is ultimately up to the admissions board to determine who receives an appointment. You clearly have some strong elements of your application, but so do many others who applied. Be confident in the package that you submitted, and start working on the things you can control. Keep up the good work.
 
SAT scores are low, especially math (which is the one they mainly look at at a stem school). You should strive to bring the total score up and the math score should be pushing 700 if not more to be competitive

I was thinking the same thing, however, I don't think there are any more ACT/SAT tests available for taking before the January application deadline. I could be wrong.
 
No one can tell you what your chances are. Admissions don’t only consider academics, they consider everything in your application and then some!
 
Have you applied for a nomination yet? I'd imagine most of the interviews are finished with at this point..
